This pedal is a giant killer. As I've had the opportunity to try out other (higher priced) dirt boxes (particulary from boss and other danos), I've only grown to appreciate it more. By itself it doesn't provide a whole lot of low end, but It does pump out searing, cutting mid range and top end, and offers up great harmonics... great for blistering leads. This is definitely a metal pedal, not a grunge pedal, with a grit free, piercing distortion. With the gain rolled back you can also get very competant classic rock and 80's metal tones

It also plays well with other distortion pedals. For a heavier, chunkier, warmer sound, I put a cool cat metal I after it. For a grungier, dirtier, "jar of bees" sound, I put a cool cat fuzz v2 before it.

Overall, I highly recommend it.It's got the basics... gain, level, and tone... no more... no less.Yes, it does have a plastic case, but it's solid and the knobs although not particularly heavy duty, are decent quality. Overall, the build quality of the FAB series pedals seems better to my eyes, than that of the higher priced dano mini pedals.This pedal would be a ridiculous bargain at twice the price.

You can't beat the price on these. I only use these for writing while I'm sitting aroud so I don't have to turn on my whole ProTools Rig. I own other Fab pedals & I intend to buy more of them.They seem pretty sturdy so they might hold up to the road, I can't comment on that. But for writing at home they're very nice!As far as the idiot on Youtube that smashes one with a hammer, Grown up Dude! Any pedal is going to break.All in All these are well worth it. Skip the 12 pack of Budwiser one night & buy one. You can't go wrong! I'm goning to buy more of the other Fab Padels as well.

First off, this was the first pedal I actually bought but I have tried tons of pedals before, just remember, it is not a boss or mxr so dont expect perfection, its great for smaller amps and boosts the volume amazingly, i have to keep my amp volume (ibanez ibz10g 10 watt) at 2 to keep from angering the roommates, it serves as a great buzz reducer too, if your pickups sound buzzy then this will help tremendously with preventing unwanted buzz, and finally it is very diverse, you can turn the dials up or down and find the tone you want most, mine is set really heavy with ernie ball sthb strings on a schecter with emg passive pickups and growls, dont hesitate to buy this if your on a budget, great backup if you have something better

Nice pedal for the money. I think I paid under fifteen for mine. So I wasn't expexting an expensive pedal for fifteen big ones, therefore, I'm pleased with my purchase. Pleanty of gain & volume in this little dude. Would I take it on the road with Corey Taylor, probably not, but it works fine in my practice room...did I mention it was less than fifteen smackers delivered to my front door!

I must say I'm impressed and I was shocked really. I use a rack effects and boutique pedals etc. The fact that I replaced a Vox Cooltron Brit Boost with this pedal is really crazy. Don't be fooled by this little pedal. Its very inexpensive yes but I own a battery of pedals ranging from thirty to several hundred and this guy is fantastic as a boost. I have use very little gain or tone with volume at max but the tone I get is tight and fat. For what I play(Trash) its wonderful.
